Topic: Selecting an internet connection for Apache

[JonAntoine]

Hi,

Is there a way to specify which network connection apache is to use?

Thanks for help in advance,

Jon

There is no configuration inside apache. But you can do with your network setup. Apache will listen all requests on Port 80.

I am not having trouble receiving internet requests, the problem occurs upon responding to the internet requests received.

If I have two network connections, all windows programs that I can see, seem to randomly choose which connection they use to access the internet. This also seems to apply to apache, so even if the request comes in on one internet connection, the response is sent out a different connection.

Now as a programmer, I know that you can programmatically choose to use a specific internet connection. Since apache apparently doesn't take advantage of this feature, what changes are needed for my network setup to force this to work?

Thanks

I am assuming you are behind a router or running a server, usually from there you can configure what applications to read through what port, both incoming and outgoing.
If there are no specific port or protocol assigned for the application it will generally go with port 80 and whatever internet connection is available (or set to standard).

Please let me know if you are running a server and in which case what operative system. I know a few tips and tricks for windows 2000 & 2003.
